Chapter 96

• Alexis
• The crowd buzzed with excitement as Alex stood at the center of it all, crowned Alpha. People were rushing up to him, offering genuine congratulations, while Byron’s supporters stayed back, hesitant. My heart swelled as I saw him standing there, looking strong and resolute despite the weariness etched into his face. His posture screamed Alpha, but I could see the exhaustion he tried to mask. I couldn’t hold back any longer. I didn’t care about the public eye, the people watching, or my own humiliations. None of it mattered.
• Weaving through the throng of people, I ran to him, ignoring the stares and whispers. When I reached him, his tired eyes brightened, and warmth broke through the fatigue.
